Vaniglia | Vanilla - Acqua di Colonia

Vaniglia is a warm and comforting expression of one of perfumery’s most beloved notes. Soft, enveloping, and gently sweet, this classic cologne highlights the soothing richness of vanilla  - an ingredient long treasured for its ability to create a sense of calm and quiet indulgence.

Derived from the vanilla orchid native to Central America, vanilla has a storied past, once blended with cacao in ancient preparations that celebrated its luxurious aroma. Here, the note unfolds with elegance, revealing a creamy sweetness balanced by subtle warmth, creating a fragrance that feels both inviting and refined.

Comforting yet sophisticated, Vaniglia wraps the wearer in a delicate veil of warmth - an intimate fragrance that evokes serenity, softness, and timeless pleasure.

ABOUT SANTA MARIA NOVELLA

Established in 1221 in Florence, the Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella originates from the Dominican friars who founded the Santa Maria Novella convent and cultivated a remarkable garden.

This marked the beginning of their expertise in pharmacopoeia and natural preparations. Over time, this knowledge expanded to encompass cosmetics, fragrances, and wellness products, making Santa Maria Novella a renowned name in these realms. 

In 1533, a young Catherine de Medici embarked on her journey to marry the future king of France, accompanied by a retinue that included a perfumer named Renato Bianco. Renato, later known as René le Florentin, brought the ancient wisdom of Florence's essence-makers to Paris, spreading the noble art of perfume throughout the world. Acqua di Santa Maria Novella, also known as Acqua della Regina or the "Queen's Water," is the oldest fragrance from the Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella, paying homage to the love-filled gift that Caterina bestowed upon France.
